This is a good basic hotel to stay at for families who are looking for a full-size kitchen and decent suite near the beach. We slept pretty well here with the kids in Brisas Penthouse #7. The Air Conditioning was good and the room was quiet despite the fact that the back windows overlooked the Exxon Gas Station and Car... more

We travelled 6000 miles from Scotland to have a sunny vacation in Santa Barbara and picked the Brisas del Mar at random. Boy what a lucky strike. This is a real gem of a place in a beautiful setting only two blocks from the beach and harbor and not much further to tthe mighty State Street. The roooms are beautifully... more

This charming hotel has wonderful caring staff. We checked in after driving up from San Diego. We were offered wine and cheese upon our arrival. Our room was clean with soft white sheets and pillows. The decor was warm and had a feeling of home, with a fireplace and granite counter tops. Breakfast the next morning was super with fresh... more

Further to my husbands review that is already included below (the one year wedding anniversary trip), when we told the front desk the extreme discomfort we experienced in this hotel, he proceeded to charge us the full rate with no attempt to try and fix the situation. We then spent the morning of our anniversary trying to find another hotel... more

My wife and I were celebrating our one year anniversary and we loved the online pictures of this inn. Unfortunately, these basically amount to false advertising. Who cares if the lobby is pleasant if your room is extremely unkempt and outdated? We walked into a sink with hairs left from (hopefully) the previous visitor, a shower that trickles water onto... more

We come to Santa Barbara twice a year, once in the summer for family time and once for the half-marathon. This was our first time venturing off Cabrillo Street (the main stretch of beachfront hotels). We wanted a nice place close to the finish line so we didn't have to walk far. What we got was a beautiful Spanish style... more

We stayed at this small hotel for 2 nights during July. The location is excellent for the major highway and access to the waterfront. With a short walk many good restuarants were accessible. The ample undercover parking was a real bonus in a residential area. The accommodation was roomy albeit a little dated in style and upkeep but the added... more

My wife, daughter and I stayed there 4 nights. As has been mentioned in previous reviews, it is just off the highway and only a few blocks from the water. Our suite was spacious with a br/lr, small kitchen. They have a nice little fitness room that no one ever uses (except me). They always have food or juice or... more

This inn is a couple of blocks from the waterfront and is relatively quiet despite being about one block from the freeway (US101). The inn was formerly the Flamingo and has obviously been renovated fairly recently. Despite the renovations, it still looks like a motel built in the 60's. Nevertheless, there were numerous amenities that were excellent and somewhat unusual.... more
